Hosa Technology Introduces Second Generation Elite Series Cables

Now available with Neutrik X-Series straight and right-angle plugs plus a new nylon webbing over the cable’s PVC jacket



Buena Park, CA (April 9, 2012) -- Hosa Technology, the leading innovator of analog and digital connectivity solutions for the modern musician, is pleased to introduce a significant upgrade of the company’s popular Elite Series guitar cables. Now available with Neutrik X-Series straight and right-angle plugs plus a new nylon webbing over the cable’s PVC jacket, the Elite Series takes advantage of the latest technological advances and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes to deliver performance attributes that are every bit on par—if not superior to—more costly boutique cables.

A clean, reliable connection to one’s signal processing and amplification chain is of paramount concern for any guitarist or bassist and the Hosa Elite Series guitar cable makes this a top priority. The Neutrik X-Series connectors employ precision machined, one-piece contacts designed to provide both signal integrity and structural rigidity. The connectors feature gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance and superior signal transfer and utilize a zinc die-cast housing for rock-solid reliability. With a polyurethane gland to prevent cable kinking for longer cable life and chuck-type strain relief for maximum cable retention combined with a sleek, ergonomic design for easy handling, these connectors deliver the ideal blend of performance and long-term reliability.

Of course, the cable’s quality is an equally important contributor to overall audio performance and here, too, the Hosa Elite Series guitar cable excels. These cables use 20 AWG Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors that reduce resistance in order to facilitate maximum signal transfer. Polyethylene dielectrics reduce capacitance for crystal-clear high-frequency transmission while conductive PVC reduces handling noise. Further, a 95% OFC braided shield is employed for noise-free signal transmission. Take all this and complete it with nylon webbing over the cable’s PVC jacket, which is cut- and abrasion-resistant for a lifetime of trouble-free use, and the end result is a cable musicians can place their trust in.

Jonathan Pusey, Hosa Technology’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing, commented on the second generation Elite Series guitar cable. “We spared no expense in the development of this cable and the enhancements made to this line are significant,” said Pusey. “With a rich feature set and a highly competitive price, we are extremely proud of this product line. The Elite Series has always been an exceptional product and now, with the addition of Neutrik connectors and abrasion-resistant nylon webbing for a lifetime of dynamic, noise-free sound quality, I’m confident guitarists everywhere will find much to like.”

Hosa Technology’s Elite Series cables range in price from an MSRP of $44.10 (for a 5-foot length straight to same) through $85.65 (for a 25-foot straight to right angle model). These cables are also available in 6-inch, 1-foot, and 1.5-foot patch cord lengths, with MSRP pricing ranging from $38.85 - $40.95. The Elite Series is slated to become available late Q2, 2012.

There are differences between different cables. Those who don't believe it have never tried comparing.

Check out the good folks at Death Valley Cables: handmade in the USA with far prices. Good people - good stuff.

All cables are overpriced. LOL But don't go the super cheap route because you'll just end up degrading your signal chain. I mean don't spend $2000 on the guitar and another $2000 on an amp and then get a $15 dollar guitar cable. No reason to spend $100 just get a good cable that won't color your tone. Here's a simple test to see if you have a crap cable: Plug in and turn everything on then tap a pen or something solid against the guitar cable. If you can hear the tapping through the amp throw away the cable, it's JUNK. I use Mogami mainly from from the advice of other closet rockers. LOL But I just picked up a Lava Vintage style coil cable like the old days and this Bad Boy is THICK & HEAVY. No noise from this cable. The ToneKing.com did a review of these a while back so I picked one up and it did not disappoint. Only thing is I wish it was straight on both ends because it doesn't plug into my Splawn & Blues Jr. amps that have chicken head knobs very well.

No wonder why my tone sucks, I was using the wrong cables all along. I will buy these or Mogami Cables or GEORGE L's or Alessandro cables or any of those "high end" "professional" cables so I can sound like my heros.

Right Angle Plugs! Just think of it! Now all the knuckleheads using the straight plugs in their top loading jacks on their Gibsons won't break theirs when they 'townsend wildmill'...or maybe not.

One more thing: I dare this company and any other company to publish double-blind tests proving the human can hear the difference between their overpriced cables and any generic.
